Moxie Movement is in full force...the students who attended the first session of Exploration Mixed Media in Fort Collins, Colorado got a taste of creating an original design, painting in mixed media, art stamping, watercolor basics, collage, and much more. Each student introduced personal images into their work and left with an original work of art. Upon their return in July for the second session, home assignments will be evaluated and new techniques and processes will be introduced. One process will be painted out doors, you may see a photo sample titled "Napa" on the homepage of my website, www.artwithmoxie.com and, we will paint bold watercolors with emphasise on texture. More photos and information can be found on www.art-with-moxie.blogspot.com as well as on this blog, www.createwithmoxie.blogspot.comAs an added bonus, I will hold an Evaluation Session the evening before the workshop for any one who would like to have their personal work critiqued. A small registration fee and a limit of three pieces of art are required. You do not have to attend the workshop to participate in the Evaluation Session. Contact Christine at artistsnook@comcast.net to register.

WILD SUN FLOWERS is the title of this 10x13 subliminal painting whose technique and process will be one of two processes to be taught on the second session of Exploration Mixed Media. These workshops are held at The Artist's Nook in Fort Collins, Colorado July 2008. You can see another sample photo on the homepage of http://www.artwithmoxie.com/ titled "Napa"

Contact artwithmoxie@cox.net for more workshop information. This process is very easy, very messy, and very spontaneous. You are all invited to attend.

Was going through my incubation bin and found this old painting that was used to demonstrate basic watercolor, line meet line drawing techniques, and hard edged portraiture. I am still teaching and using these principle elements, though my painting style has changed.

About Me

It was a cold day in Paris... I found someone else he said, as he packed a bag and left me, leaving behind his favorite navy blazer and red silk tie. In anger and tears, I ripped the blazer to shreds, cut up the tie, and tore into the jewelry he had gifted me....Today I design artisan jewelry and accessories from those shreds of fabric, buttons off the blazer, and bits of broken jewelry. Every piece has a story...SWEET REVENGE !!!
